The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Throttle Lever designed for DPS and DPU series vibratory plate compactors. This direct-replacement lever is sourced from Wacker Neuson and is engineered to the same specification as the original component fitted at the factory. Confirmed fitment spans the DPS3050, DPS3060, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 models — covering both single-direction and reversible vibratory plates in the 28–30 kN class. When it comes to throttle control on a compaction machine, using the correct OEM part ensures precise engine response every time.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Throttle Control Geometry — Manufactured to the exact pivot angle and lever travel spec of the original, so throttle response remains crisp and proportional across the engine's RPM range.
- Drop-In Replacement — Mounts directly to the existing throttle linkage on compatible DPS and DPU models with no rework to brackets or cable routing.
- Broad DPS & DPU Compatibility — Fits DPS3050, DPS3060, DPU 2870, DPU 2950, DPU 2960, and DPU 2970 vibratory plate compactors, covering both single-direction and reversible plate families.
- Consistent Engine Speed Control — A correctly functioning throttle lever lets the operator hold steady engine RPM under load, maintaining optimal centrifugal force output from the exciter for effective soil and aggregate compaction.
- Operator Safety Compliance — Precise throttle actuation is critical for controlled operation; a worn or broken lever can cause unintended speed surges or the inability to reduce engine speed quickly, creating a hazard on the compaction pass.
The throttle lever connects the operator's hand to the engine's carburetor or fuel-injection throttle body, mechanically translating lever position into engine speed. On vibratory plate compactors, where the exciter force is directly tied to engine RPM, maintaining accurate throttle control is essential for achieving the correct compaction output and staying within safe operating parameters. When the lever cracks, wears at the pivot, or loses its detent feel, engine speed becomes unpredictable — making timely replacement important for both performance and operator control.
